kyyle, I don't know why you write like you write but it makes your postings very difficult to read.
I am far from perfect (I have the excuse of coming from a non english speaking country), but at least I try to make no mistakes.
Just switch on the spell checker and you'll be fine.
This industry is very small and there are only a few pilots with dreadlocks
so try to make the best impression you can.
Regarding listening to advise.
I wouldn't go so far and blame you for not listening what have been told here. Listen to people but make your own decisions. Its your life.
But live with the consequences and do not come back complaining if it turns out to be the wrong decision. You won't get a lot of warm words.
If I had followed all advises I heard during my last career move (gave up a secure flying job to move oversea), I wouldn't be where I am now.
And I am happy where I am now. (nearly... anybody has a job for me!?
)
